Oh, the price of success. The old school pizza joint run by an equally old school pizza making Italian-American has received so much positive press coverage these past few years. Everyone from the The New York Times, Zagat’s, Village Voice, and even the borough-phobe New York has given the pizzeria so much love. In fact, Time Out New York, recently annointed the joint with the Best of Pizza in NYC. Word has it that even NYC guidebooks are heaping praise as well. It is because of all this attention that the wait for a Dom’s Special porcini mushroom slice is now over an hour’s wait. Most of the throng of drooling customers all fit the description of visitors to Midwood. Hey, you know what I mean! It’s as if the Brooklyn natives who grew up eating at DiFara’s have left to find a new pizza crush. As much as I love DiFara’s, I think it’s high time I do the same as well.
